It was broke when i got here


The betwixt and between carries on with me in so many things.
I am attempting to cause some change.
Soon i am going to start cleaning, and organizing 
my automotive tools, and over several weeks i will add 
items to the tool collection items i need.


Once i get my tools cleaned, organized and replaced as necessary
in a new organizational system of tool boxes.
I will begin to work on my one bay garage in preparation for
working on/storing the upcoming retirement car.

I will have to take our garage from a current status much like this:


to something more like this:


I am not kidding myself in the fact that this is going
really, really fucking tough.
It is something tho that i can do prior to obtaining the vehicle.
If i can get myself motivated and moving to simply do it.


The car search continues--I have run through all
the types...and Jesus Christ the prices!!
I have been around long enough to know what some of 
the vintage vehicles offered for sale were really worth--
and they were never worth what they are asking for them, new, much less, 40 years later.
So i have limited my search now to something possibly affordable:
An Austin Healey Sprite from say 1968.


Sprints are more affordable overall, including parts,
and a vehicle that i can actually work on.
Currently all this is just conjecture.
To keep me occupied while i am awaiting retirement. 
To keep me from going insane.

Having a bit of trouble with this one as you might well imagine....

This was a really great bio of one of my favorite actors.


My favorite movie of his----
The Professionals...






We've been binge watching both of these
alternatively.
Strange eh?

It's taken me a couple of weeks to write this single blog entry.


Things have not been personally bad, simply, unchanging like groundhog day.
Repeating over and over and over. 
Appearing as if I am trapped in a wait and see zone of some kind. 
Which means not much to write or philosophize upon that is actually new.

"Hope is the dream of a waking man."
